2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

Nothing happenings in St. Louis. Into the ninth.

 

Heading into bottom 9 now.

 

Broken up.

 

No more.

 

And Joe West is still an asshole.

 

I still don't know what West was trying to do. He initially told Montero he could go out and talk to Hendricks, but when Bryant, Russell and Baez went in, West told him to go back.
Maddon comes out and you could read his lips, "what the fuck are you doing that for?....."
Got no better from there.

I don't know if West had the tab if it went longer than 2:30, but they were flying through that game.

Funniest thing about it is after West dumped Maddon, he went ahead and let him make the pitching change.

West is not all bad.

 

Orioles. Oof. Bad pitching matchup last night, but still, oof. Hoping for better out of the next two games.

 

It's like Buck saw Price on the other side and said, fuck it, might as well let Miley take it up the ass tonight. Miley has been a fucking trainwreck ever since coming over. Why go with a six-man rotation when one of the six can't get anyone out?

 

Probably because two of the six (and the most important two for the franchise's long-term prospects) are about to pass their career high in innings.

 

Fair point.

 

Circle your calendars, Scully fans.

Vin Scully will not call Dodgers' playoff games

 

RIP Bakersfield Blaze. Lost to Visalia in Cal League division final Monday night. To be continued in the Carolina League.

Good longform (about 45K words) piece here on the final days.
